Had to delete a post here. The DVinfo sponsors make this site possible. Please don't post things here criticizing their prices and sending people to other vendors. If you feel the need to do that, please post it on another website.

Most criticisms I've seen of the FX1 are from people who want something that isn't available in this price range, or didn't take time to figure out how to make the most of the camera within its limitations. Until the recent Canon announcement there hasn't been anything to compare to the FX1 for a similar price, and critics should at least recognize this fact.

I've tested many competing cameras and found limitations and drawbacks to all of them relative to the FX1. The FX1 isn't perfect for everyone or every situation and there are things I wish were better about it, but it's been a heck of a deal for a professionally useful HD camera.
